#17 of 19 DISAPOINTED by peterbilt1 May 09, 2008 (7:37 pm)
The concept car really hit the mark between original and modern. After seeing the final production model, I am very disappointed with how far away from the concept car they strayed. The interior is so far from the 1970 model, it is a complete turn off. That console is so terribly modern it is embarrassing. And those seats are not even close to bringing the 1970 retro look. And the dash and steering wheel had to come straight out of the modern Chrysler 300. And who in their right mind would but this car in an automatic. I am so DISAPOINTED that after waiting all this time for it to come to market, only to be butchered into a modern run of the mill see it every were car, that I have ordered and taken delivery of a CS/GT Mustang. I have 2 other buddies who feel the same way. One of them is ordering a Mustang also; the other is going for the 09 Camaro. I hate to say it but this car as it is now will not find the market it was designed for. And who ever the guy is that made these changes needs to be fired, he does not have the eye for this market. 38 years for the right time for this market to happen and the last time ever. And Dodge Blows it!! Troy Dawson Service Manager

Replying to: shelby500gt (Jul 06, 2008 9:43 am) Ok lame ass Ford boy, How did they miss the mark on this, ummm...they DIDN'T. What did you want Chrysler to do, make an identicle replica of a 1970 Challenger? Of course it's modern dumbass, just like the Crustang I mean Mustang. Compare any new vehicle to the old & the technology & handling is like night & day, If you want old school they buy old school! Funny how people stare at my new Challenger & give me nothing but compliments the Mustang is so common that who cares. So many women buy them. Lights out? You could'nt be so far from the truth, dealers can't keep them in stock. Sorry but you & the ugly ass Camaro lose. Jealousy rears it's ugly head.
